I wrote this script because our MOM Datawarehousing got so damn behind.Every time the windows Scheduled task tried to run to warehouse the dataout of OnePoint, it would puke because the SQL log would fill up. Thisallows you to start so many days out and it will increment it down by the number of days […]

It might not be useful now, but if you ever wanted to downsize the amount of data that you keep in your datawarehouse, good luck. This will help you do that. This job is set to shrink it down to 120 days, but you can adjust it as you like. Runs again in 5 day […]

This script is basically a front-end for the sp_"scriptproc" stored procedures that ship with MSSQL. This will allow you to create ALL of your procs (INS, UPD and DEL) on the fly using the article name instead of having to first search for the article ID. It also uses sp_scriptdynamicupdproc where appropriate. This facilitates quick […]

When AUTOSTATS is used in a database, we can sometimes use these automatically generated statistics to find columns where SQL Server has built statistics on non-indexed columns that may benefit from an index. This script finds these columns and displays the selectivity of them. This script can be useful in troubleshooting poorly performing databases by […]

If you use 2 different maintenance plans (one for full-recovery databases and one for simple-mode databases) this proc can help keep the databases in the right plan. You can schedule this as a job and if anyone changes the recovery mode of a database or adds/removes a database, this proc will ensure that the changes […]

The DBCC CHECKIDENT command is used when working with identity values. I have a table with 10 rows in it that looks like this:
TravelLogID CityID StartDate EndDate 1 1 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 2 2 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 3 3 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 4 4 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 5 5 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 6 6 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 7 7 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 8 8 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 9 9 2025-01-11 2025-01-16 10 10 2025-01-11 2025-01-16The docs for DBCC CHECKIDENT say this if I run with only the table parameter: "If the current identity value for a table is less than the maximum identity value stored in the identity column, it is reset using the maximum value in the identity column. " I run this code:
DELETE dbo.TravelLog WHERE TravelLogID >= 9
GO
DBCC CHECKIDENT(TravelLog, RESEED)
GO
INSERT dbo.TravelLog
(
CityID,
StartDate,
EndDate
)
VALUES
(4, '2025-09-14', '2025-09-17')
GO
What is the identity value for the new row inserted by the insert statement above? See possible answers
